Hello,
I triggered a Wine app to open up a URL link and Firefox opened up and
things went downhill from there. I'm guessing that Wine somehow
corrupted all the contexts of the Firefox bookmark/places/etc. storage
files and now SELinux is preventing any of them from being accessed
... even after opening up Firefox normally.
Here is an example of the error output by setroubleshoot (but they
just keep coming for various Firefox related Target Objects every 10
seconds or so ... on opening Firefox, about 40 are generated
immediately):
Summary:
SELinux is preventing firefox from creating a file with a context of unlabeled_t
on a filesystem.

For anyone else that stumbles across this, a 'restorecon -R
~<user>/.mozilla' as root will get things back to normal with no data
loss. At least it did for me ... at least until the next time I open a
URL with a Wine app ...
